We want to give an inside look at the community we’ve built here at CashFlow Tactics and what it means to fight for freedom so we’re taking some time to get into the backstories of Brad, Ryan, and Jimmy. Last week we uncovered Ryan’s journey to financial freedom and why his story embodies so much of our core mission.

This week we’re diving into Jimmy’s piece of the puzzle. Jimmy effortlessly demonstrates the fuel behind the fire that is CashFlow Tactics.

Whether it was the process of becoming an Army Ranger, serving 3 deployments overseas, or now leading Empire Builders, Jimmy's life has one fundamental undertone: FREEDOM. That message instantly connected him with the strategies and tactics he learned and developed with Brad and Ryan. What is Jimmy's why? To play the game as hard and as long as possible.

There Are No Straight Lines In Finance

Mapping your path to financial freedom is an exhilarating and exciting discovery. We know firsthand how motivating it is to have set targets and an achievable gameplan. But we always like to give a word of caution to those new to the journey.

One big misconception that we see over and over again is the belief that once you accomplish X goal or Y goal then life will be perfect. A lot of people naively believe that once they learn the fundamentals and get on track that the road ahead will be smooth sailing. Let us spill a secret. It won’t be.

The path to financial freedom is possible but it is not a straight path. Sometimes in the moments when you feel most on-point, a hurdle will crop up that you’ll need to maneuver around. But it’s important to remember that life happens for you, not to you! CashFlow tactics will help you with the path but you must become the person capable and willing to walk it.
